It's great value for being so close to the airport. Free breakfast. Safe parking in gated/guarded yard. Room is exceptionally spacious. Breakfast made for order in a lovely dining room.

For one night stay it was ok. There is no restaurant on evening but you can order food if you have cash. Airport shuttle was good option.
My stay here was short by necessity but the friendly staff and the clean, tidy room made the brief time spent here very enjoyable. Check in was fast and efficient, as was check out. The breakfast was made fresh to order in the morning. The inclusion of breakfast in the room rate made it value for money to me.
The location is nice and close to the airport so travel times were nice and short. Yes this comes with the downside of hearing planes overhead but the sound did not interfere with sleep.
There is security at the gate round the clock to open up for guests who do travel in and out.
I like the convenience of being close to the airport and shuttle service to and from airport.
The staff are efficient and very helpful and friendly.
Assitance to take luggage to your room.
I like that the room was very clean.
The linens was white and fresh.
Bed was comfortable.
It is an older place so not very up to date.
The shower taps didn't work easy and, I did thought the towels is very thin. An upgrade on new towels will
Add more to the experience. The shower was clean but could perhaps do an intensive clean on tiny spots of mold, and new filling by sink. Although overall the room and bathroom was clean, the lace curtain in bathroom needs a wash aswell the curtians & lace curtians by the small windowsill è
However there is new smart television in room.
The shower needs to be upgraded.
The door is in bad shape, it is a security matter.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Adequate. Very noisy surroundings. The front staff was not willing to help us order pizza- no suggestions or assistance in making a call to order. As a result we never got a delivery and cancelled our Uber eats order.
The shuttle service is a joke...they were not at the airport to meet us although detsils were sent to them weeks before we arrived. Ehen we eventually got through to them they turned up to pick up 3 of us our 5 suitcases and 3 hand luggages in a salon car. Two of us were crushed in the back seat with luggage almost on top of us. When we got to the hotel they had no room for us and said we would be sent to another place a guest house belonging the the Hotel owner's brother. We had a further wait then to be taken to a small guest house 10 minutes away.
These people are terrible...

I arrived Johannesburg at past 1Am and this guest house was closed for the day, I had earlier sent them a message of my flight details and arrival time. They were locked and said the room had been given to someone else. That they tried to call me. How do you call someone who is airborne? When I sent a message why didn’t I get a response? I was left in the cold night stranded and the staff who I met outside was very rude to me. Saying they are fully booked

Bel accueil à l'aéroport. Bon systeme de navette entre l'aeroport et l'hôtel. Hotel sympatique mais très vieux. Bon déjeuner servi le matin. Retour à l'aéroport facile avec la navette. On se sentait en sécurité.
Com excelente custo-benefício, ótimo para quem quer descansar em uma conexão longa entre voos. A Guest house é muito próxima o aeroporto O.R. Tambo, o que facilita o deslocamento. Ainda, oferece transfer do hotel para o aeroporto gratuito, partido em intervalos de 1 hora. Para transfer do aeroporto para o hotel, cobra-se pelo serviço, bem como se o hóspede quiser realizar o transfer do hotel para o aeroporto fora dos horários oferecidos. O café-da-manhã é o básio que funciona, você preenche uma ficha marcando dentre as opções disponíveis o que você deseja e ele é preparado na hora. De modo geral, valeu a pena DEMAIS!
Je recommande cet hôtel qui est juste à proximité de l'aéroport. C'est trés propre et les chambres sont bien équipées. J'ai trouvé la literie confortable également. Très bon rapport qualité-prix.
The property is located right across from the airport, in a convenient location.
Very limited dining option, almost non-existent WiFi, and had electricity only half the time I was there. This meant no tv, no air, no water on the sink, no water on the toilet, no internet, no lights, etc.
